About Us
The Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies is a resource for information and teaching about the Holocaust and contemporary aspects of genocide as defined by the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide (1948) as well as varying definitions by university scholars and researchers.
CHGS is an independent center at the University of Minnesota, established in 1997 with a mixture of private endowment and College of Liberal Arts support.
We invite you to make an appointment to see us if you are interested in materials for your own teaching, or to call us if we can be of service to you in your school.
